Daisy parrotfish

Commonly seen in lagoons, reef slopes, and the outer edges of coral reefs where tidal flow is good. Males have colorful bodies with blues, yellows and browns. A band of pink or brown stretches between the eyes, and extends as two lines behind them. The body color and patterns of females and juveniles vary, and some juveniles can change color as they are swimming.
